Does she have a formal diagnosis of borderline personality disorder? Or do you simply see those traits as strong components of her ways of interacting and handling things? Either way, be prepared for lots of drama. The relative I mentioned before has removed herself to women's shelters repeatedly over the years claiming that she's at risk of imminent harm, which has never been borne out. She has never succeeded in getting a PFA order, but she has had her husband marched out of his office in handcuffs by military police and put in holding barracks while they sorted out her claims. He would be released once it became clear that my relative had nothing to substantiate her initial claims (she would renege once pressed for details), but it was horrid all round.
Then, a day later, she would be posting on facebook about her wonderful husband (who was now 'all good' rather than the 'all bad' villain he'd been 24 hours prior. So. Just saying, lots of possibility for unpleasant drama and you may want to get a lawyer up to speed so the legal drama doesn't blindside you. Even if she's not deliberately setting you up as part of a longer-term plan (and don't discount that), the short-term drama can be devastating.
Hang in there.
@grav ...
I'm under medical care, believe me! Or do you think it's chemo-brain?
You should have more confidence in yourself ...
